What's New

Today I'm 30 years old. Holy. Cow. Just yesterday, I swear I was 21 and trying to decide whether to slog through another year of undergrad in biochemistry and genetics or follow my dream of being a writer. Obviously, I chose to risk it all and take the plunge!

And it was so worth. So very, very worth it.

Don't get me wrong. It hasn't been easy. Those first few years were tough but I persevered. I had so many wonderful people in my corner, encouraging me to work hard and follow my dreams. My husband Dave. My parents. My friends. My brothers and sister. My inlaws. Even Kiddo.

So. Anywho.

To celebrate hitting the Big 3-0, I'm doing giveaways for both of my pen names (Roxie and Lolita) . These will run until October 31, 2013! And, yes, they're both open internationally!

No. Super Sexy Man in Cake is sadly not included! :) You can see a pic of the Roxie bag here: http://www.kaboobags.com/store/productdetail.aspx?id=6

Happy birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful one! :) And my favorite hero you've written so far has to be Nikolai. Mmmhmm.

Sending you the biggest Happy Birthday wishes from Oz :D
Ohhhhh.....So hard to choose which is my favourite!!. Some days its a toss up between Ivan, Dimitri and Yuri. Then you throw in Hagen and Kelly and its hard to choose. But If pressed my favourite hero/heroin would be Nikolai and Vivian.... sigh

I enjoy all your books, but I really liked Grabbed by Vicious. There was so much emotion in that book it really got to me when Hallie thought she had been betrayed. I couldn't put it down. Happy Birthday and 30 isn't old at all! Think of Desiree Holt! You have a LOT of writing time left in you!! :)

For who I lust most from your books?? Of course that would have to be your alter ego's Russian protectors!! Dimitri being номер один (number one) =) followed by Vicious from Grabbed. Alpha male perfection =D

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

It is very hard to decide who I love most but if I had to make that difficult decision, it would have to be Ivan followed very closely by the other Russian Protectors!

At first I thought Ivan was "the one" until I read Dimitri, until I read Yuri, then until I read Nikolai. There is no way to choose for me. I can't wait for more Russian Protectors.

I loved Ivan when I read his book. But when I read Nikolai...there is no one else like him. He is one of my all time favorite guys. I re-read his story over and over again.
Hope you have a great birthday!!! Keep the books coming you are a great author and I really enjoy them.

Happy Birthday Roxie!! I just finished reading the 4th book in the Protector series..Nickolai and I am in love! I love the other 3 guys too, but this guy was super sexy and tugged at my heart with his story. Vivian was a badass too in my book. Loved it. Keep bringing us stories about the sexy Russians!! Waiting for Sergei!

Happy belated Birthday! Thank you for the opportunity to win some fantastic prizes.
My favorite hunk would have to be, so far, Nikolai because he has so much to lose,but he is and was willing to risk it all for the woman he loves.
